Abstract
A communication device includes a long-rage transceiver, a short-range transceiver and a processor. The long-range transceiver is configured to communicate wirelessly with a Base Station (BS) of a cellular network. The short-range transceiver is configured to communicate wirelessly with one or more peer communication devices over a short-range network. The processor is configured to communicate with the peer communication devices via the short-range transceiver and with the BS via the long-range transceiver, so as to share resources between the communication device and the peer communication devices or the cellular network, for providing a communication service.
